METHOD FOR EVALUATING DEGREE OF METABOLIC AND CARDIORESPIRATORY ADAPTATION OF PATIENT Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61B5/83 A61B5/91 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, evaluation of a degree of metabolic and cardiorespiratory adaptation of a patient by an anaerobic threshold (AT) power. The AT value is determined by a cross point of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide elimination curves by means of carrying out ergospirometry and ensuring hypoxic mixed gas inhalation with gradually decreasing the oxygen contents by 2 % at each stage to reach stabilised values of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide elimination at each stage. Then the AT power is measured by a percentage of oxygen in the inhaled hypoxic mixed gas related to a moment of reaching the AT value. If the AT power is 14 % of oxygen, a degree of patient's adaptation is considered to be low, less than 10 % of oxygen - high, while the AT power ranging within 10-14 % of oxygen shows a middle degree of patient's adaptation.

EFFECT: method provides evaluation of a degree of metabolic and cardiorespiratory adaptation of the patients suffering a musculoskeletal disorder, impairments of consciousness, including associating artificial lung ventilation, unable to perform an exercise tolerance test.
